Satu Heikkinen – författare

Vad är rörelse? Hur kan vi arbeta med rörelse i dagens skola? Hur kan vi förstå kroppsliga rörelsers sociala betydelse? Boken berör dessa frågor med utgångspunkt i Rudolf Labans rörelseramverk och lyfter fram de kroppsliga rörelsernas sociala och didaktiska aspekter.

Boken passar som läromedel inom idrottslärarutbildning och ämnet idrott och hälsa i skolan och i andra sammanhang där rörelse och rörelsedidaktik är i fokus. Antologin är ett bidrag till sociologins forskningstradition av att studera gester, interaktioner och samspel. Detta gör också boken användbar både för begreppsdiskussioner och praktiska övningar i undervisning inom sociologi och närliggande ämnen.

I de olika kapitlen uppstår unika möten mellan Labans rörelseramverk, didaktik i ämnet dans och rörelse och sociologisk analys. De rörelseaspekter som tas upp och fördjupas är: kropp, rum, dynamiska uttryck och relation.

This book discusses different ways in which the cross-roads between emotions and resistance can be theorised. While the sociological field focuses primarily on emotions that are entangled in the relationship between the individual and collective, the cultural studies field has recently started to emphasise affects as a ‘rescue’ from the deterministic aspect of the poststructuralist approach (in which language decides everything) (Hemmings 2005, 2014). Scholars promoting the ‘affective turn’ argue that affects and interpretations are inseparable. By taking affects as the point of departure, it is argued that it is possible to show how bodies move in their own ways, but still in relation to others. Departing from this, it becomes interesting to explore how emotions are involved in different power relations and how they feed resistance. If we accept that emotions and interpretations are entangled and inseparable then we must investigate emotions as powerful forces of resistance.The chapters were originally published in a special issue of the Journal of Political Power.

Aging, Migration, and Digital Technologies explores how processes of migration and aging are entangled with digital practices in the contexts of the Nordic countries (Sweden and Finland) and Japan. At the forefront of the digitalization of welfare services and the permeation of digital communication more generally, these regions provide a compelling lens through which to explore the shared and divergent experiences of aging, migration, and transnational families in a digital context.Drawing on empirical case studies, this volume investigates the transformative effects of digital technologies on the experiences of older migrants and their interactions with aging native populations. Chapters examine diverse migrant populations of varied regional, national, and linguistic backgrounds, encompassing those shaped by colonial histories, refugee programs, and labor, marriage, and professional mobility. The book critically addresses cultural differences in the definitions of care, help, and mediation and examines how these notions have been reshaped by both migration and digital technologies. Simultaneously, it evaluates the extent to which digitalized welfare services enable social inclusion or whether they act as a barrier that exacerbates inequalities, offering a nuanced analysis of their role in shaping the aging trajectory.Applying a cross-country comparative framework across diverse ethnic groups, the book underscores the need to further refine the analytical potential of the aging migrant category and advance the migration–aging–technology triad as a robust framework for understanding these phenomena. It will therefore appeal to scholars, researchers, and students of the sociology of migration, aging, digitalization, and welfare, as well as policymakers and practitioners in social services and integration.
